FC Barcelona made its debut in LaLiga EA Sports 25/26 against Mallorca, where it had to do without three players for not being registered: Gerard Martín, Wojciech Szczesny and Roony Bardghji, the latter who, despite having a reserve team contract, is waiting to be registered in the first team.

The Kuwait-born player had played all the preseason matches, even he scored a goal against Vissel Kobe on the Asian tour, pleasing coach Hansi Flick. In that sense, the coach hopes to have him as an alternative to Lamine Yamal on the right.

Roony Bardghji's registration: The key lies in the VIP seats

The option of the Swedish striker being registered in the first team is more than viable. Barça is waiting for the auditor Crowe Spain to validate the transfer of exploitation of the 475 VIP seats for a value of 100 million euros and be certified by LaLiga. By complying with the procedure, the Blaugrana club will be able to register its remaining players.

Roony Bardghji had to watch the RCD Mallorca – FC Barcelona from a distance, but there is a possibility of being taken into account for the Blaugrana club's visit to Levante on August 23. This, as long as he is registered in time with the first team or Barça decides to keep him with a reserve team contract.

Roony Bardghji's debut will have to wait

Although Roony Bardghji has the possibility of playing in Barça Atlètic if his registration in the first team is not completed, the reserve team will not play until September 7, when they face UE Porreres for the first match of group 3 of the Segunda RFEF. This option, however, seems discarded, since the Swede does not intend to play in the fourth Spanish category.

The '‘19’ comes from signing a contract until June 2029, a sign of confidence from the Blaugrana club in his potential, after having played 84 matches and scored 15 goals in the last three seasons playing for Copenhagen. The winger had offers from clubs such as Mallorca and Porto, but ended up leaning towards Barça because it is a club he has admired since he was little.

FC Barcelona paid 2 million euros to the Danes to take over the Swede's contract, a more than affordable amount. Now it will be up to the Culé club to get the most out of him both sportingly and economically for the player trained at Malmo.
